SUMMARY:Reckoning\, Repair\, & Regime Change Teach-In with the Reckoning and Repair Working Group
DESCRIPTION:How should we carry out the work of justice in a time when government agencies are scrubbing words like “equity\,” “oppression\,” and “racism” from their websites? \nIn the chaos\, fear\, and furor of this moment\, it’s hard to know what to pay attention to. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But it’s important not to let the current regime drag us off course from the progress we have made. \nLet’s focus on what’s in our sphere of influence\, remembering our shared Unitarian Universalist values and the civil rights movements of the past. \nJoin members of the First Parish Reckoning & Repair Working Group to explore our current context\, find inspiration in the historical roots of the right-wing bogeyman known as DEI\, and build our collective capacity for resistance. \nFood will be served!

SUMMARY:Women's Alliance Program: Rev Marta Interviews Shira Hoffer
DESCRIPTION:A Hotline for Israel/Palestine: Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan interviews Shira Hoffer \nSeptember 15\, 2024 – after service\, 12:00 noon\, in the sanctuary and on Zoom \nJoin The Alliance for the first program of its inspirational and thought-provoking new season. This promises to be an engaging conversation between Rev. Marta and Shira Hoffer\, a remarkable Harvard undergraduate who in response to the horrific Hamas attack on Israel\, October 7\, 2023\, founded the Hotline for Israel/Palestine. This text-based hotline provides her fellow students and others a place where they can safely pose difficult questions without being labeled antisemitic or Islamophobic. The text-based hotline provides well-researched and curated resources about the historical\, cultural\, political\, and religious viewpoints underlying the long conflict between these two countries and their inhabitants. \nIn 2024 Shira expanded her outreach by founding the Institute for Multipartisan Education\, a charitable organization dedicated to “increasing and improving [the] capacity for curious approaches to difference and disagreement in educational settings.” \nJoin this event in-person in the Sanctuary or join on Zoom. \nLearn more about the Alliance by clicking here.
